Master Gardener Audrey Moreno delivered a workshop on Fall bulbs, entitled Bulbs: Basics, Myths and Truth at the Utica Public Library on Tuesday September 27, 2022. Participants learned about the proper planting, care, and maintenance of Spring flowering bulbs.  Flowering bulbs are very easy to grow if you know a few important tips. 

Nineteen participants attended this free workshop provided by the Bureau, LaSalle, and Marshall Putnam University of Illinois Master Gardener/Master Naturalist Program. As follow up, the library provided each participant a take home a bulb-forcing kit to enjoy through the winter.
